FOG Node setup issues

i’m trying to setup a fog node using another ubutu 14.04 LTS server. I first setup fog 1.2.0 and it ran setup perfectly fine. had the mysqluser (fogstorage) and pass (fs********) setup correctly. I was able to even go to the (fog node ip)/fog and it would show the little message that there’s no GUI. OK good, up and running but not replicating. I figured that my main server is 1.5.0 and my node is 1.2.0; which is why it wont work together.

then on the fog node, I did the update to trunk and it updated to 1.5.0-RC-10 and now it the node doesn’t function.

Under my main fog configuration, it says "FOGNODE1 FOG version (“A valid database connection could not be made” 1.5.0-RC-10)
I try to access the node IP/fog and it gives me a error 500. and the URL goes to /fog/management/index.php?node=schema

@Wayne-Workman My main server was 1.5.0 RC9 and my node was 1.5.0 RC10 which is why it didn’t work. I did update my main server after Jgallo mentioned it and has resolved most of the issues.

I think the “(“A valid database connection could not be made” 1.5.0-RC-10)” might be a bug. I’ve found two other threads that mention the same thing but their solution didn’t work on my end. As long as the server is replicating, i’m all good.

Possibly could be a bug. Wouldn’t be the first time LOL. Curiously what browser are you on and what size screen are you on? If you try to narrow the window on super wide screen I have seen the dashboard get all weird so I usually keep the window expanded.

check this out. see that error under kernel? well it looks like the entire info is on the wrong row.
storage node name is right, the IP is right, the “a valid database…” message shouldn’t be there, so now the Kernal 3.13…" message is pushed down a row. uptime is on the wrong row. So i think it’s an bug in the php code somewhere. the node works and connects and replicates fine. I’ve checked the settings you mention and dont see an issue.

I also had the valid database connection error which turned out to be a limit that I was hitting with mysql. Could be related and you could go into mysql and check to see if you are hitting that provided your credentials for your nodes are correct. It sounds like they are because replication is working.

ah thank you for that.
updated now and my main fog sees the node
but it still gives this message under the storage node disk usage drop down menu: “A valid database connection could not be made”@@general"
It must be a bug when reading for the kernal info. But i’m able to see the node’s disk useage correctly.

http://fognodeIP/fog still shows error 500 but that might be by designed. in 1.2.0 it showed a small text message.

1.5.0-RC9 had some issues with storage nodes. I would update to 1.5.0-RC10 as it was just release yesterday and many improvements from RC9. Most of those issues were resolved in working branch and hence RC10 should resolve your issues. I had the same problem and those issues were resolved now.
